Hetic,
Elgin manufactures pushrods, rocker arms and possibly some other valve train parts, as well as some chassis parts for both OE and the aftermarket. Their parts are excellent quality. The other engine parts that they have in their product line are manufactured by others.

There are two Elgins out there..

Dema Elgin, the custom cam designer and Elgin Industries in Elgin, IL that make motor parts.

I thought somebody posted their cam spec. list once, but I forgot to save it in my cam spec. info..

Please post it again if anybody has it AND I will save it.

I'm running an Elgin cam. Haven't had any problems. Not a high-performance cam though. Just a little single pattern 214 duration for my 327.

Their website: http://www.elgincams.com/

pdq67 Hmm. Now that I look closely at the site, I don't see my grind in their catalog. Pretty sure it wasn't a custom grind. Maybe I got mine through the other Elgin. Not sure, as my machine shop did the ordering. I'll have to give JMS Machine a call and see exactly where they got it.

I was mistaken. I bought my cam here. http://www.elginind.com/prostock.htm

Just e-mailed them for a cam spec sheet. Have to see what they come-up with.

Edit: They're faxing some stuff over to me. When I receive it I'll scan it in and post it.
